The advertising industry lost a great man recently. He wasn’t a president or a CEO. He never achieved the title of chairman. He didn’t revolutionize the business, come up with some new compensation structure, author an award-winning campaign or win the Grand Prix at Cannes. In fact, in the end, he didn’t even care much for advertising, the career he spent more than 20 years pursuing.

So why, you ask, or how, did this man achieve greatness?

Well, it started back in the late ’70s, when Howard Lesman graduated from Boston University.
